About C.J. Skuse

Aside from writing novels, she works as a freelance children’s fiction consultant, and lectures at Bath Spa University in Writing for Children. She hates carnivals, coughing, and hard-boiled eggs. She loves Gummy Bears, Masterchef, and murder sites. The movies “Ruby Sparks”, “Titanic”, and “My Best Friend’s Wedding” were each most likely based off of her ideas, however she just wasn’t able to write them down in time. Before she dies, she would like to try clay-pigeon shooting, go to Japan, and have Ryan Gosling present her the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. CJ is the giggle at the funeral, as in life she laughs at everything. If she can help it, she takes very little seriously. She really enjoys comedians that light fires, like Bill Hicks, Ricky Gervais, and Frankie Boyle. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Alibi Books series, C.J. Skuse has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
